How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good beef tendons
- When buying beef tendons, if you look with the naked eye, you should choose those that are pinkish-white.
- You should choose beef tendons that have a strong, distinctive smell, as this indicates they are still fresh.
- You should not choose beef tendons that are pale white, green, or yellow, as these indicate the tendons are no longer fresh and have been treated with chemicals.
- You should not choose beef tendons that smell bad or have no smell. A bad smell indicates they are old and no longer fresh, while no smell indicates they have been treated with chemicals.
How to choose good potatoes
- Choose potatoes that have intact, smooth skins.
- Choose yellow potatoes, as these will be sweeter than those that are turning white.
- When buying, you should choose potatoes that feel heavy and firm in your hand.
- Do not choose potatoes that have sprouted, as sprouted potatoes contain a lot of toxins.
- You should not choose potatoes with green skins, peeling skins, dents, or which are not intact.
How to choose good carrots
- You should choose carrots that are straight in shape, with smooth skins, bright orange color, and feel firm, hard, and heavy in your hand, as these are tasty and rich in vitamins.
- You should choose those with small cores, as the smaller the core, the sweeter the carrot.
- You should not choose carrots that have leaves or branches at the base, with thick and large shoulders, as these are usually carrots with large cores that are not sweet and have fewer nutrients.
- Do not choose carrots that are misshapen, dark in color, bruised, or with wilted leaves.

How to choose good kohlrabi
- Choose bulbs with a diameter of 7 to 9 cm, as these are the tastiest ones.
- Choose bulbs that feel heavy in your hand and are firm, not soft.
- You should select bulbs that have a bright light green color, are intact, not wormy or bruised, and do not have a rotten or chemical smell when sniffed.
- You should not choose pre-peeled kohlrabi, as most of them are soaked in water mixed with chemicals to keep them fresh and visually appealing.
- Do not choose bulbs that are too large, bruised, or damaged.
- Do not choose bulbs without stems and leaves.

Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing, wash the beef tendon thoroughly with diluted salt water, then rinse several times with clean water, drain, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the potatoes, carrots, and kohlrabi, remove the roots, stems, and leaves, wash well with diluted salt water, and cut into square pieces.
Peel or scrape the ginger, then slice it thin.

Sauté the beef tendons
Place a pot on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and heat it, add sliced ginger and sauté until fragrant.
When the ginger turns golden, add the beef tendons and sauté for about 5 minutes over high heat. Then add 1 liter of water and simmer for 40 minutes over medium heat.
Tip: You can pressure cook the beef tendons for about 20 minutes to save cooking time. -
Simmer the ingredients
After 40 minutes, add the potatoes, carrots, and kohlrabi, stir well, cover, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Next, season with 1.5 tablespoons of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce, and adjust to taste. Simmer for another 10 minutes over medium heat and then turn off the stove.
